Decreased fetal movement after 40 weeks

[mjaxoxo]

Anyone else experiencing this?

I've had an EXTREMELY active baby since around 19 weeks, but the past few days I haven't been feeling him as much. The due date was Monday the 24th. I'm thinking it's just because he doesn't have any room left in there to play around constantly anymore. I do still feel him moving, just nothing compared to what I used to feel.

Should I call my doctor or l&d? FTM BTW

Call doctor, I got decrease movements after 40 week, doc did a stressed test said my baby was okay and a couple of days later I called again said my baby wasn't moving at all (he was moving but less than before and he keep saying it was normal... So I had to lie) thank goodness he checked again and sent me to the hospital to get induced right the way! Everything went fine I had a beautiful labor and a healthy baby boy, but I wasn't going to risk my baby's health I knew inside me that the decreased movements were not right so I acted!

I would call l&d since you are overdue they would be a better help than your doctor would.
